Supacell is scrappy and scruffy (my own Spidey senses deduce there wasn’t a huge budget for special effects), but maybe that’s a good thing. Instead of drowning in CGI, there’s potential here for an imaginative story with multifaceted characters.
The series has an array of storylines and characters, but Michael and Dionne’s relationship stands at the heart of “Supacell.” The depth, intricacies and beauty of Black love are so rarely showcased on screen that seeing a young couple who has built a life together from their teen years into adulthood is beautiful to behold.

When I tell you this show had me gripping the edge of my seat. It’s been a long lengthy prolonged time since I’ve been interested in watching something other than anime. But THIS WAS SO GOOD!! And people are talking about the acting was lackluster. Just say you dont like the show because it has blk ppl in it. This is not giving poor acting like tubi or a cheaply made show. This show actually gives me an anime feel. Ppl are talking about they were a pain in the ass but alot of tv shows & movies have the characters making dumb decisions. They were just being strong headed. And some people especially in the real world have a hard time at communicating. It’s called self sabotage. That’s what gave it its realness. I was so invested to the point it pissed me off XD. Like idk how much I can express that this was so good!! I can’t believe people are giving it a low rating. This is my first time going out my way to give a tv show a rating either like this was so good 10/10 will recommend. If you like shows like black lighting, Get out, Naruto, twilight, Inuyasha, rebel ridge, and the movie US. Then this is the show for you. Trust me. Also somebody recommended that boring ass German show called DARK. NOT THE SAME CONCEPT. You can really tell what some of the negative reviews look like without even saying much “pale” That’s all I have to say

It has cutting social commentary that simmers throughout, it shines a spotlight on real-life issues while folding it into their universe, and it balances a slow-burn approach with the action-packed to bring you characters, big and small, you desperately root for.
With a killer soundtrack and an unpredictable storyline, Rapman’s series is one of the best streaming surprises of the summer.
While there’s a lot about Supacell that we’ve seen before, there’s also enough that’s new to keep us watching, especially given the performances of its main cast.
This was, at least, an involving British drama that had things to say. I just wish it hadn’t done so in borrowed clothes.
That Supacell improves as it goes along is perhaps the thing that most distinguishes it from Heroes, which started off strong and soon fizzled. But it doesn’t do enough to distinguish itself from our current overpopulated superhero TV landscape.
I loved it. I watched it one sitting. I couldn't get enough. Blends the superhero genre with genuine realism (gangs, knife crime etc) and with the cliff-hanger ending and the announcement of season 2, I'm BUZZING to see what comes next.

Overall points given for the fact that a story and cast aimed to showcase the talent of black artists and actors/ actresses, with a storyline meant to highlight and strengthen the idea of a weakening sickle cell issue, but the acting, the directing, the effects... I'm sorry, but... shocking. Besides some of the main characters, everything else was soooo lackluster. And that's the nicest way I can put it. It should've stayed in the drafts, to say the least.
